I don’t mean to sound rude but you’re posting this everywhere and it is not helpful at all. At least a username is needed before the problem can begin to be looked at. A screenshot of the error would be nice too.

Time of day is no longer optional and instead runs on the time of the server. 7am - 7pm (07:00 - 19:00) is day time 7pm - 7am (19:00 - 07:00) is night time There is a clock that shows the server time on the top of every page in your userbar that you can use to keep track.

Fixed.

This was fixed for mobiles yesterday @DannyV if you’re still having issues, clear your browser cache on your phone. If the problem still persists then request the site as the desktop version on your mobile browser.

Running over them? Lol, you look forward to that?

I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say "We're looking forward to the wait being over" But in all seriousness, I'd love to see something really rare go up for auction on PokéBay starting really low. It'll show the true potential of the auction system I built. That said, people have a tendency not to use things as they were intended to be used, people are just going to be throwing Caterpies up for $100,000,000 start prices. Maybe I'm wrong though (I hope so) We'll see.

All sprites on the forums are now using the v4 sprites. Nearly every generation 6 Pokémon has a new sprite.

Please do not create trade topics for a single Pokémon. Use this topic instead: And familiarize yourself with the trade forum rules here:

That isn't what you think it means. Vortex Balls are not Master Balls and are not replacing them. Master Ball - Catches anything except UBs with a 100% catch rate. Beast Ball - Only catches UBs with a 100% catch rate and fails if thrown at anything else. Vortex Ball - Catches anything including UBs with a 100% catch rate.

The time is drawing near! v4 has been under the testing phase for roughly 2 weeks now and so it's about time you all got to see what's new, what's changed, what's gone and what's fixed. Below is a list of all the most notable changes that come with v4 (And yes, you get to keep your accounts and Pokémon) When the time comes for you all to play it, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the time spent developing it. What's new? The entire site's user interface has been redesigned to give a much smoother gameplay experience Clans are back!

No, everything from v3 will carry over to v4 with the exception of some deleted clans (not all) which will be explained soon. everything on your account now will still be there in v4.

They’re not supposed to be, they’re sidequest prizes

Yes, you are correct, it happened because you did not press continue at the end. HOWEVER, the next time you go to battle (if you didn't log out) It will jump straight to "Congratulations, you caught Shiny Genesect" Unfortunately, if you did log out since then the Pokemon is lost.

Everything that is in the Pokédex in-game (exclusing Greninja (Ash)) will eventually be released. They are there for a reason, not just to fill it up with things you will never get.

golyesem@hotmail.com isn't the email address linked to that account...

Arceus (Unknown) was given to people early not only, that helped with certain small things in the development of v4 such as sprites and data entry. All those jobs I could outsource for help were already given and completed so now the only way to get them is to trade with the people who were given them or wait for the event. It will have an event, I don't know when, I don't know what you'll have to do for it but there will be an Arceus (Unknown) event. The point of the ones currently in the game was to give those people who helped the chance to have them before anyone else.

The decision to make botting not allowed was to bring back the fun of what the game intended to be.Contrary to popular belief, botting is only done by a handful of people, they just do it on multiple accounts that make it seem like a lot are doing it then they stockpile everything onto one account to storm the leaderboards or they offload it onto people who are unaware they're receiving illegitimate experience Pokémon. Most of the players do not know how to bot or are not interested in it. Now, if you were around for v1 - v2 then you will know that the leaderboard was locked and basically impossible to get onto as a new player so instead of the hard earned fun it should have been to be #1, it's actually just a contest of who can leave their computer on the longest. I myself found this pointless and not what gives me motivation to develop the game. When I make an update for the game, I like it to be looked at, tested, played with, even admired in some cases, not for the first thought of the player to be "Oh, how can I automate this process?" As someone who has botted games as well, I know even for the player it kills the fun of the game and it's no longer a game but a chore to keep your bot running as long as possible to "catch up" or "keep up" and in some cases to go undetected. That, in my eyes, is not a game or fun. I stand by my decision to eradicate botting and will never revert.

Can you go into detail about how this is productive for me and more so the user? So you battle the account Training 19 times in a row now it's on a feed of some sort that you did so for you to look at. Why do you need to know that? That's a lot of data for me to be storing for something so menial and something I don't see people using. BUT, that's not to say I wouldn't do it, I'd just need some more convincing so if you could give me more insight into why you yourself and other players would want this then I would consider it.

@xKogu I can see someone (I'm not sure if it's you) Is currently using the account so if you managed to get back on it then that's good. If you're still having an issue then come and speak to me about it on Discord and I'll see what we can sort out.

All Pokemon that are not yet released are not known how or when they will be released. They may be events, claims, giveaways or purchasable. Until then, there is no answer.

When a user is banned, all of their Pokemon are automatically made to have 0 exp so their Pokemon will not appear on leaderboards. However, the ones you're referring to were not treated in the same way by an oversight in the ban system that did not take trade offers into account. For example, if a user is banned and they have a 'top pokemon' in the trade system offered on something then the ban will not treat this Pokemon as owned by that user (I can see it's owned by that user but the ban does not) So these ones need to be done manually. The ban system has been revised in v4 and this will no longer happen.
